I know a good number of friends/family that have lost jobs, can't find a job or quit looking. They are all professionals, not baggers. (no offense to baggers). This phony economy is folding faster than a deck of cards. But who cares? Money is just paper, once faith is lost in it, people will have to put faith in themselves instead.

It is the same here where I live. All the good jobs go to minorities to fill racial quotas. foreclosures are up and, the local economy is in the tank.

Bankrupt Circuit City Stores Inc., unable to work out a sale of the company, said Friday it will go out of business _ closing its 567 U.S. stores and cutting 30,000 jobs.

The nation's second-biggest consumer electronics retailer is the latest casualty of an unprecedented pullback in consumer spending that has driven other brands such as KB Toys, Mervyns LLC and Linens 'N Things into bankruptcy. Experts believe there will be more to come.

"This is the only possible path for our company," Circuit City's acting Chief Executive James A. Marcum said in a statement. "We are extremely disappointed by this outcome."

This one is big.30,000 jobs gone in one day. And of course, now, all that commercial space will just sit. commercial real estate failure will play a huge role in 2009 folks. Which of course will hit the banks again.
